JAMES G. MILLER, OF GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN.

GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 269,307, dated December 19, 1882. Application filed May 4, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES G. MILLER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Green Bay, in the county of Brown and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas- Burners, of which the following is aspeciiication.

My invention relates to an improvement in gas-burners. The nature and object ofthis invention is to provide a gasburner in which the' gas is heated before escaping at the burnerorifice' for the purpose of improving the cornbustion.

To this end my invention consists in certain combination, construction, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a sectional elevation of my improved gasburner; Fig. 2, a plan View of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 are detailed views, hereinafter referred to.

Simila-r letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings, A represents the burner, the inside of which is arranged as follows In the top of the tube B, through which the gas is brought from the source of supply, are a series of small openings, aa. Over thistnbe B is placed a cap, C, provided near the bottom with small holes b, and tting tightly at the bottom around the enlarged part of the tube, leaving a space, c. Around the tube B and cap C is aglobular shell, D, the lower part of which screws tightly onto the outside of tube B, the upper end containing the mouth E of the burner. Leading from the upper part of the shell D are two small pipes, P, supplied at their outer ends with gas and air burners f 4o j', the ends of which come close up to and beneath the globular shell D.

F is a cover, which tits loosely around the shell D at the top, and is shaped as shown in Fig. 2, with two dat sides, S and S', parallel with the burner-orifice E, and with the Hat llame emanating therefrom when the gas is lighted. Y

The operation is as follows: The gas, entering at O, passes through the small openings a at the top of tube B, and, turning down through the space c between the cap C and tube B, enters through small holesb binto the shell D, from whence it escapes at the burner-orifice E. A small amount of gas is conveyed through the small pipes P to the air and gas burners ff, which rises therefrom, and as the gas is lighted at E becomes ignited and burns around the shell D, thoroughly heating the gas before it escapes at E, thus rendering it fitted to illuminate in a higher degree and with less consumption of gas. The burners f f are kept concealed and the heat therefrom retained around the shell D by the cover F, which also produces two dat currents of heated air, by the cool air cominginto contact with the sides S and S thereof, which rise Withequal force on opposite sides of the flat damefrorn the burner, causing it to burn steadily and with great illuminating power.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A tube, B, having small openings a, cap C, provided with holes b, and shell D, in combination with burners ff, substantially as described and shown.

2. A gas-burner, A, having tube B, cap C, and shell D, in combination with burners ff and cover F, substantially as described and shown.

3. The combination of tube B, having openings a, cap C, with holes b, shell D, mouth E, pipes P, burnersff, and cover F, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
